You're going to need render-to-texture using Framebuffer Objects (FBOs). Render to the desired texture, but only to the alpha channel, which is done using glColorMask (With it you can mask all color channels except alpha), and then draw the pattern into the alpha channel, setting alpha to 0.0, then display the textures as normal.
